The Heber City Council meeting on May 20, 2025, focused on enhancing community engagement through new programming and beautification efforts in downtown Heber. Key discussions included the introduction of "Soulful Sundays" and a Monday night local music series aimed at attracting residents to the downtown area.

"Soulful Sundays" will feature free yoga sessions at 9 AM, followed by community music performances from 6 to 7 PM. Local musicians, including a harp ensemble from Wasatch County, will provide a peaceful atmosphere without the distractions of food vendors or markets. The initiative aims to foster a sense of tranquility and community connection.

In addition, the council announced a Monday night local show, which has already garnered significant interest. The series will include performances from local bands and artists, with a focus on creating an intimate listening environment. Organizers noted a strong demand for local music, with many performers eager to participate, despite the modest compensation offered.

The meeting also highlighted ongoing beautification efforts on Main Street. The council plans to replace aging hanging flower baskets with large planters, which will be easier to maintain and more visually appealing. Local businesses have been encouraged to participate in this initiative, and students from Wasatch High School's floriculture class will assist with the planting.

Lastly, the council discussed an upcoming mural project by artist Cheyenne Renee, who is working on a series of murals across the United States. This project is expected to contribute to the artistic landscape of Heber City.

Overall, the council's initiatives reflect a commitment to enhancing community spirit and beautifying the downtown area, with plans for further engagement and artistic expression in the coming months.
